Enjoyed my stay by the river! House was nice. A nice spot to park my boat as I spent most of my time fishing. Was nice to have gas station, variety store and food/tavern options within walking distance. The rumble and whistle of trains at night takes a little getting used to.......but that's part of the river experience!

I ended up not staying at the property due to my personal issue. The host worked with me and was good to communicate with. In area for family wedding. If a small town feeling is what you want, this property might be what you want. The house is very pretty from the outside. I never went inside, again due to my personal reasons, but the host’s prior reviews would indicate it is as she has depicted the property.

Scenic River Inn stay
Stayed for a weekend hunting trip with friends. Property was conveniently located and allowed us to have our dog with which is a plus. Only negative is the water pressure for taking a shower, but wasn’t a deal breaker for our group.

Ferryville Cuteness
This home brought back so many memories of my grandparents Olson’s home in Gays Mills. Older home with old home noises, nicely furnished and country decorated. Owners were quick to answer and accommodating. Bonus was the basement access to another restroom and adult hangout. Beautiful view of the Mississippi River and sunsets, spacious rooms and nice backyard. Great access to main road. Grocery shopped on the way. We had to get use to the trains blowing their horn when they came through at night. We would and plan to stay here again!
